"The way in which you deny free speech is by arguing against the organization of various majority groups, such as ORMs. "
Again, I haven't said that ORMs aren't free to organize their own groups. Free speech involves the right to criticize, which I have availed myself of.
"90% of premeds are not ORMs. "
Read my post. I said 90% of MED STUDENTS are ORMs.

88.4% of matriculants to med school are ORM. ORMs don't need to be "rallied"
"...oppressed whites (poorer ones, ones denied education) and whatnot, are as needy of rallying as anyone else. "
Poor whites are not poor because they are white. Their problems are based on economics not race. If you want to start a thread, "Rallying my fellow poor people", then I would say that you are engaging in quite a noble venture. But you started a "Rallying my fellow ORM thread", which is completely different.
Black poverty is intimately connected with the issue of race. Aside from the legacies of slavery and Jim Crow, blacks face substantial discrimination in job and housing markets.
"So why can certain races have clubs, but not Asians? "
You keep harping on Asians but ORMs are composed of whites AND asians. As a group, what types of issues do whites and asians have to confront together?
"The URMs have a club to hang out. Why shouldnt the ORMs?"
OK, why don't you form a club for white males then? Put it on your med school application - it would look real humanitarian of you to form a club to give support to the dominant group in society. I sincerely doubt you would do this though.
"Affirmative action masks the true problem"
So now we get to the bottom line. You may think that racial discrimination has disappeared but it most certainly hasn't.
"oh for christs sake....the laws of physics are eurocentric? "
No your viewpoint is eurocentric.
